This blog contains most of my biking, trekking, running, eating and other tour experiences. I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel.. Guys enjoy reading... you can say your comments and experiences... Just go out there and make your own way.
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

Nehru Nilaya, where Jawaharlal Nehru used to stay, now a guest house of the horticulture department of India.

Rivers - The rivers Pennar, Palar and Arkavati originate from these hills. Most of the sources have dried up . One can see the source of Arkavati at the entrance.

Brahmashram - It is said that Sage Ramakrishna Paramhamsa meditated here. Its a cool cave .

Nature - Enjoy the green lap and shade that nature has laid for you. Laid back, sit and enjoy.

Getting There – “Nandi Hills” is around 60 KM from Bangalore (towards the north). Take the Bangalore-Hyderabad highway (NH-7) from the Hebbal Flyover. Around 30 kms down this road, you reach Devanahalli. You come across a prominent signage of the upcoming International Airport (BIAL) on the right. Another 5 kms straight ahead, you come across a left turn that takes you to Nandi Hills. This turn is “unmarked” (or possibly marked in Kannada alone). Lookout for a smallish board displaying “Canterbury Castles”. This is where you need to get off the highway. P.S. – Do not mistake it for NH 207 (to Doddaballapur) which is the previous left turn (It leads you to some L&T factory). Post the left turn, 20 Kms of driving gets you to the foothills from where directions to Nandi Hills are very clearly marked.

The road condition is good overall with a few patchy spots nearing the hills. While the highway (NH-7) is very good, beware of some “unmarked” speed breakers that pop out of nowhere
